Extract fan cleaning in Fewcott

For landlords and multi-site operators

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

How we handle extract fan cleaning in Fewcott

Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. Typical jobs include a fan that hums, whines or rumbles and an extract fan with no cleaning record, across roof-mounted fans, discharge points and in-line fans.

Somewhere as small as Fewcott, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen extracts in Fewcott

The fire and rescue service for Fewcott is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fewcott. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Fewcott, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Fewcott is about 4 miles north-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire.

Different parts, different methods

Inline duct fans

Hidden in a ceiling void, an inline fan is easily missed. The survey makes sure it’s part of the clean.

Roof-mounted fans

A roof fan sits in cooler air, so grease can settle heavily. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fewcott

Vibration from an unbalanced impeller does not stay small. It can wear the bearings and lead to failure, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. Cleaning it early is far less disruptive. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Fewcott rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Why us?

  • Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • A written report with pictures after each visit
  • In business since 2009

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Honest limits

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A fan that will not start
  • A fan that is too small for the system (a design question)
  • Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

What the work covers

  • Axial fans
  • In-line fans
  • Centrifugal fans
  • Fan housings
  • Roof-mounted fans
  • Discharge points

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Fewcott

A fan on a roof or hidden in a ceiling void is easy to forget. If it wasn’t included in past cleans, it may hold years of grease, and the report will show it.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Thick grease on the impeller and casing
  • A noisy fan that has got louder over time
  • A motor area thick with grease
  • A fan left out of previous cleans

Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Fewcott is Bicester Community Hospital, about 4.2 miles south-east.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos

Questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Fewcott.

  1. The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
  2. We isolate the power before opening the housing.
  3. We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
  4. Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
  5. It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

FAQs for Fewcott

Do you work at weekends in Fewcott?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Fewcott can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

Will you come out to Fewcott?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fewcott is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

What about areas you cannot get to?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Are you accredited?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?

We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
